im a junior in IB, a college prep course. im in AP calculus, chemistry, and economics, and did ap world history last year.
the rest of my classes are IB classes.
chemistry were doing electrochemistry. weve done acids bases titrations and stuff i dont remember.
calculus we have our midterm tomorrow and weve done all of limits and derivatives. i think that leaves intergrals for the next semester.
economics were doing the effects of inflation. weve done supply demand incentives and a bunch of small stuff that idr.
and weve got Internal Assesments for IB. so theyre not on specific concepts but theyre a lot of work,
for example:
ITGS (info tech in a global society) our IA is to find a social problem and think of an IT solution. something like children wandering out of a playground and a barcode or gps system to track them. yes it does have to be origional and yes it does have to work completly. which means we pretty much prototype inventions for things people could make a lot of money on.
economics: we have to find a recent news article and write 1000 words on the economic concepts in the article, example being the eggo waffles factory breaking so the supply decreased, but in much more detail.
english: world lit papers (same thing as IA), one paper 1000 words comparing two novels in a specific aspect. and another 1000 words on a different novel and theres a bunch of different stuff we can do for that one.
and then theres spanish and research class
spanish is spanish 4 and weve gone over/learned all the verb tenses, present past future imperfect preterite etc...
research we did some stuff with embracing our differences and reading these books but now were researching colleges and where we want to go and how to get in (weve got to turn in an application and resume after xmas)
and next semester instead of research we will have TOK (theory of knowledge) which is some weird class about how you can know things. example you say the ball is blue. the teacher says yes but how do you know? you can cause it is and he says yes but HOW DO YOU KNOW?
anddd IB students love to procrastinate, which is why i typed this huge thing instead of studying for math or writing that essay.....
